Hi all,
i've just installed hipl but i have some doubts. I haven't understood
how hipl works...
Simply running hipd, it eventually died because there weren't any of the
following files:
hip_host_dsa_key_anon
hip_host_dsa_key_pub
hip_host_rsa_key_anon
hip_host_rsa_key_pub
Then, i used tools/hipconf to generate those files and ended up with 8
files:
hip_host_dsa_key_anon
hip_host_dsa_key_pub
hip_host_rsa_key_anon
hip_host_rsa_key_pub
hip_host_dsa_key_anon.pub
hip_host_dsa_key_pub.pub
hip_host_rsa_key_anon.pub
hip_host_rsa_key_pub.pub
By comparison with some other implementations, like HIP4BSD, i can see
that some of the files correspond to the host's private and public key,
but i don't understand the use of all the files.
Some other questions:
Will it be possible to ping the peer using it's HIT?
Will the base exchange be triggered by the first data packet exchanged?
In which interface can the HIP packets be captured - dummy0 or any
physical interface?
Should there be a HIT - IP mapping in the /etc/hip/hosts file? - Can
you please send me an example of that file....
I've searched the mailing list and didn't find any of this topics. If
there's any mail ou thread related to any of this questions, please
point me to it.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Best Regards,
Fernando
